That there WCF!

I see our Gallic chums have got up a petition to have it replayed. This on top of all the other BS surrounding the tournament.

Is it that important? Obviously to some.

An entertaining enough game, but the best WCF ever? Do me a favour!

It’ll be nice to have the real nitty-gritty of a full Boxing Day programme back today.

Until 5:00pm I expect!

The entertaining nature of the football will never supersede the appalling decision to host it in Qatar due to its many human rights issues.

2 of the last 5 WC have been won by penalty shoot out.
A further 2 of the last 5 WC have been won by a single goal in ET.

All much of a muchness.
Boring!

Yep give me Sir Geoff and a six goal feast won in extra time anyday compared to the dreadful penalty bore fest surrounding today’s finals. ” They think it’s all over, it is now, he just scored the winning pissing penalty “. Unbelievable Jeff.

This country isn’t exactly squeaky clean. Let’s not forget we joined Americans in bombing and killing hundreds of thousand of people, under the pretext of there being a weapon of mass destruction, only turns out there wasn’t one.

Look back in history and look how much shit this Island country of ours has caused.

Money brought the football to Qatar, infantino is no better than Blatter only difference is he’ll be spreading the back hander money out to everybody in his organization instead of keeping the bulk of it himself and giving the rest to the select few.

Do you really think if Qatar were a hard up country that the World Cup would have ended up there ?

Fifa haven’t cleaned themselves up. They didn’t give a shit where it ended up, all they cared about was who put the most money up to stage it.

I am pretty sure our labour laws are better than one where thousands of migrant workers died in construction. I am pretty sure we don’t have women and gay people treated as second class citizens. So spare me this false equivance bollocks.

The difference between what the UK did in the past is that this was historical. Qatari problems are happening now. There is no equivalence between the two. We have our problems, but we’re better than a morally squalid dictatorship where debate like this is far more controlled.

Oh, and the majority of Iraqi deaths was caused by Islamist attacks, not US or UK bombings. Also, while the pretext was a load of crap, let’s not pretend that Saddam’s Iraq of genocide against Kurds and massacring Shia’a was some peaceful state.

West Cumberland Farmers Ltd?

There’s just been one of their tankers in our village delivering heating oil!

Brampton is still a bit quaint compared to Doha!

Lot of places in the sticks still requiring heating oil NI, knew a lot of the WCF guys when I drove oil tankers, think they are part of Watson’s now.

Lol, 200k signatures. 200k French people who have been in to football since 1998. Before that, couldn’t care less! Maybe a bit harsh…
